Letters Patent No. 94,269, dated August 31, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

The Echednle referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM AUnieH, of Chicago, in the county of (look, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in vice for admitting atmospheric air into the same, so

as to mix or unite with the gasoline, and also in the location and arrangement of the apertures through which the gas passes for binning.

In the drawings 7 Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of my vaporburner, and

Figure 2 is a side view. I In constructing my vapor-burner, I make a, metallic tube, A, and rigidly attach to itsuppcr'end a cap, B, made so as toprojetrt allrouud, as clearly shown in figs. 1 and 2.

A short distance below the cap B, 1'. make a series of apertures, a, in the tube A, as shown in the same figures, and, near the lower end of the tube, a couple of holes, g, immediately opposite each other.-

Above the holes g, l pivot doors f, rigidly con neeted by a curved wire rod, h,and provided with a handle, D, so that they may be conveniently adjusted as desired, wholly or partially over the holes g.

The lower end of the tube I provide with a screwthread, and insert therein a plug, 0, having a corresponding serew thread, for the purpose, as shown in fig. 1, and also having a tapering or conical hole, d, the small end of which opens immediately under the holes g. v

The plug l, I construct so that it may be conveniently attached to the pipe communicating with the petroleum or other reservoir.

In operating my vapor-burner, I connect it with the pipe leading to the reservoir, then heat it in any of the usual ways, when the gasoline will find its way through the conical holed, into the tube A, immediately under the openings g, and mingling or uniting with the air admitted through these openings, will then pass out through the aperturesa, when it may be lighted; The flame will heat thecap B, and with itthe tube A, and in this way the supply of vapor will be kept up for the burner.

I am aware that there have been many devices used for supplying the gasoline with atmospheric air,

as desired, and therefore I sought to make oneof peculiar construction, that could readily and conveniently be operated, for the purpose desired. Asthe swinging doors 1), composing it, are rigidly connected by the wire rod 71, they are turned simultaneously, as the handle D is turned, and may be so adjusted as to admit as much or as little air as may be required.

Having thus described my invention,

\Vhat I claim, is-

As a new article of manufacture, a vapor-burner, consisting of the solidly-capped tube A, provided with holes g and apertures a, the swinging doors f, rigidly connected'by the rod h and the plug 0, all constructedv and arranged for operating, as herein shown and'described. Y
